THE pulpit everywhere bears tes-
timony to the influence of Mr..
Beecher in the direction of broad
ening sympathies. Among the many
preachers who have spoken of Mr..
Beecher, the majority declare the
influence of that great preacher on
their own lives. Few of them agree
with his theological views, which
were hardly stationary; but almost
all admit that Mr.. Beecher was a
revelatur Of the religion Of love.
Protestants, Catholics, Jews, all
unite in praise of the boundless af-
lection of Mr.. Beecher's religion.
DIR. Lyman Abbott claims to have
learned a grand meaning Of the
fatherly attributes Of God at the
feet of Beecher. Father McGlynn
gives the dead preacher the same
credit as his instruction. into
the remotest seligions of the earth
men have been inspired by this
quality of Beecher's preaching and
are now praising his memory. Good
work enough for one life.

The present season has witnessed
greater number Of frightful rail
way accidents than have occurred in
many years past. That which took
place on the Dedham branch of
the Boston & Providence road, near
Boston Monday resulted in the loss
Of nearly thirty lives and the wound
ing of over sixty other passengers,
some of whom are probably fatally
injured, and others manned for life.
The train broke through bridge,
doubtless of cheap and faulty CON
struction, and the passenger coaches,
dropping thirty feet, were crushed
and piled upon one another.

the depot to hear each other speak. Then
the thunder and wind partially ceased and
the storm settled into long, steady rain.

station close to the window so as to go out

Superstitious Cinnamon.

Chinese laborers will not work in the
big canyon through which the Cascade
division of the Northern Pacific rail-
road runs, because several China
men have been killed there. They think
that it is inhabited by devils with strong
anti-Chinese sentiments. Nine China
men were killed there some time ago
by falling trees, and ten collins were
sent up. This was looked upon as a
bad omen by the Chinese and they were
very uneasy as long rs the spare coffin
lay around camp. 1t was not long till
rumpus occurred, and Cinnamon
was shot. The Chinese thought thai
this death had ben brought about il

Mother lost her gumption!
Breakfast scorched and smoky,

Things in various places,
Places all demolished,
Everything chaotic

Beds with rubbish Uttered,
Sheets and pillows missing;
Lots OF time for ecrubbing-

The induction balance, which was
first called to the aid of surgery during
the illness of President Garfield, has
now reached the stage of q practical
instrument. The description of its
latest form is an interesting expose
given by DR.. Girdner, who has used it
with success. With the induction bal
ance to locate the bullet and the tele-
phone probe to obtain its exact depth
below the skin, there can no longer be
any excuse for the death of persons shot
from failure to find the missile. The
'balance' will, it is likely, soon be as
familiar in the hands of the surgeon NJ

COLLEGES FOR DOGS.
Peculiar Institutions Recently EstablIsheti
in London and Vienna.


in London and Vienna.
1t was Napoleon who said that it was
"but step from the sublime to the III
diculous,' and to pass from the starry
heavens to the world of ours and pup
pies seems to be great come-down.
But studying the brute creation may be
very profitable, as helping to show us
the evolution of intelligence in animal
life. In London and Vienna, dog col
leges have been instituted, where, for u
fee, these animals are trained in all
manner of tricks, and their intelligence
is cultivated Systematically, so as to
make them q source of much greater
amusement to their ow ners. The mod
ern dog shows what marvellous results
come of breeding and raining. The
question has never been settled as to
which of the wild animals the dog
traces his remote ancestry. 1t was
probably variety of wolf. But note
the difference which now exist between
the various breeds of dogs! Compare
the giant Siberian bloodhound with the
little household pet which the lady can
hold in one hand, the tiny ami
NAL scarcely covering her palm. Then
note the contrast between the ferocous
bulldog and the timid and fleet Italian
greyhound. Yet these variations, mar
vclous as they are, were not the result
of any scientific selection, but are due
to circumstances and kind of natural
development. Why not colleges, if you
please, Tor all animals? AS far back as
ancient Egypt, lions were trained for
hunting purposes. In modern times,
what marvels are to be seen in the
changes produced in the horse! Even
more remarkable are the results in
breeds of cows, sheep and the other
animals on which men live, or whose
wool, hair or skin is in demand fol
clothing. The scientists are beginning
to study life in all its variations, and il
would be we'll if rich men were to leave
bequcsts to endow institutions thai
would Systematically bring out all the
possibilities of the animal creation
which are such service to the human
race in the way of its support, worl
and pleasure. Then, may it not event
uate in the human race itself being
taken in hand and so trained as to bring
about its best possibilities in the way
of beauty and form, intelligence ant
high moral character. - Demoresf
